Abstract: Isolated midline spike (IMS) is an unusual finding in the paediatric electroencephalogram (EEG). Its significance in developing epilepsy, therefore needing long term anti-seizure medications, is unknown. We hypothesized that in previously healthy children there could be no need of long term commitment to anti-seizure medications despite the presence of IMS on their EEG.
